By just sharing on social media, people will see your stuff and that will drive more traffic to your blog.

Provide consistent value.

There are two elements to this. The first thing is value. Your content has to have value and actually improve people’s lives. You can’t just simply write a post that’s self-serving.

The second thing is consistent. You want to be on a consistent schedule so that people can expect your content at a regular time. This way, people see your content when you actually publish your blog post.

Use Facebook Ads

Facebook ads are a great way to drive traffic to your blog, because they’re super-cheap and super-targeted. You can run Facebook ads in two ways.

Clicks to website

The first way is to run a clicks-to-website campaign. This is a little more complicated than the second option because you actually have to come up with graphics and you have to do split-testing. But this is very powerful because you can actually drive targeted traffic to your blog.

Pin your blog posts on Pinterest.

Pinterest is a great traffic driver because it is long term and doesn’t really have a time limit. It’s especially good for content that’s evergreen, so something that you post now can easily be discovered six, eight, or even 12 months later.

One great thing about Pinterest is that it’s visual, so it automatically attracts people’s eyes. If you want to get more traffic to your blog, you should be pinning every single blog post that you write. If you’re stuck on graphics, give either Adobe Spark or Canva a try.

Share to your email list

Every blogger should have an email list, because it’s your most valuable asset. Why? It’s because it’s the only network that you actually have control over.

The problem with trying to get traffic from social media is that these platforms can control who sees see your posts. Increasingly, they’re trying to adapt their platforms for more engagement, because they want people to stay on their platforms and not leave.

If you have an email list, don’t be afraid of sharing your blog posts to your email list. They joined because they wanted to get more value from you, so share your blog posts and you’ll get more traffic.

Getting traffic, especially for a new blogger, is very difficult. But if you follow these five methods, I think you will find that your traffic will increase, and your blog will be more successful.
